Chapter 391: Chapter 390

Ivy River’s words successfully left Edwin Blake speechless.

Is it really that she’s not over him, or what?

Edwin Blake spoke earnestly, "Ivy River, whether you believe me or not, I just want to say this: there was never anything between me and Isla."

"Oh, and then?"

Ivy River’s indifferent attitude made Edwin Blake feel like he was hitting a wall.

"I’m telling you, we never started anything. After our divorce, I never thought about dating again."

Ivy River said nonchalantly, "So? What are you trying to say?"

Edwin Blake rubbed his forehead, feeling frustrated.

Seeing he had nothing to say, Ivy River directly asked, "What is President Blake exactly? You’re a businessman; you should hate dawdling more than anyone, right?"

Edwin Blake nodded, "You’re right. I’m just letting you know that I’ve been single for the past few years."

"You don’t need to tell me this. You should be telling your next girlfriend. I’m not interested in your love life at all."

After Ivy River finished speaking, she continued, "But I hope next time you find a girlfriend, you don’t make me out to be your enemy, thank you."

"You..."

Edwin Blake couldn’t finish his sentence and sighed deeply, "If you need anything today, just let me know. Otherwise, I’ll head to the branch office."

Ivy River then opened the front door, "Goodbye then, I’m not seeing you off."

Nora Goldsmith immediately followed behind, "You better not come to our house again, or I’ll definitely sell it."

Edwin Blake walked right out the door.

Harry Ross was lamenting from behind, "Madam, madam, if you need anything, feel free to call me."

Then he nodded and bowed to Nora Goldsmith, "Please, little goddess, don’t sell the house. We’re just here for a few days; when Madam returns to the country, we’ll leave too."

"Truly shameless! Why cling to our Ivy? Is your boss unable to find anyone else?"

Nora Goldsmith spoke rudely, "Our Ivy doesn’t want to go back, it’s terrible, yuck!"

"It’s not terrible, not terrible. If you savor it, going back can actually be quite flavorful. You don’t believe me—ah!"

Harry Ross’s words were cut off as Nora Goldsmith shoved him outside.

He was directly shut out.

After closing the door, Nora Goldsmith said, "Seeing him in person for the first time, what an oily guy. Back then, were you blind?"

"Yes, so I woke up later, and I’m not blind now."

Ivy River said calmly.

"Why did he come over just now? He’s not really here to grovel and butter you up, is he? I don’t trust his intentions,"

Nora Goldsmith complained indignantly, "And he can’t come over during the day; I wasn’t even fully awake!"

"Probably not with pure intentions, and partly because the Old Lady pressured him to come."

Ivy River explained, "Alright, now go take another nap."

"Nap, my foot! I need to get ready and head out, teaching for you. Sigh, I’m such a good person, aren’t I!"

Ivy River shook her head with a smile, "You could sneak a nap during the class. If I remember correctly, today’s materials should be quite simple."

"Forget it, forget it. I need to drink a double espresso later; coffee is literally my lifesaver!"

Nora Goldsmith yawned and headed toward Noah Wilson’s room.

"Sis, come quickly. Noah hasn’t gone out, which is really unexpected."

Opening the door, she saw Noah sitting coldly on the bed.

Nora Goldsmith directly questioned, "Why didn’t you go out? If you were there earlier, I’d have tackled Edwin Blake!"

"Whoa, is there actually someone you’re afraid of losing to?"

Noah Wilson replied directly.

Nora Goldsmith rolled her eyes, "You know what kind of expert I am. I only know how to eat."

"You’re aware of it too? Aren’t you afraid Edwin Blake would beat you up? I know how strong Edwin Blake is; I’ve tangled with her before."

Noah Wilson took a sip of water to clear his throat.

Nora Goldsmith replied directly, "If my sister were here, Edwin Blake wouldn’t dare hit me for her sake."

"Also, even if my combat skills are lacking, I can bite. Don’t forget how I bit people five years ago."

Nora Goldsmith said smugly.

Noah Wilson and Ivy River’s thoughts were drawn back to the past.

Five years ago.

Ivy River, Noah Wilson, and Nora Goldsmith first came to Washington.

While looking at houses, they were directly robbed.

They didn’t have much cash on them, and the robbers demanded they go to the bank and withdraw more money.

Ivy River refused, not knowing she was pregnant at the time.

So she directly fought with the robbers, as they typically worked in groups here.

They were really upset being beaten up by a woman, Ivy River.

Initially, there were only two or three people; Ivy River and Noah Wilson could handle them just fine.

Then the robbers made a call, and suddenly five or six more men showed up.

A group of big guys, Ivy River and Noah Wilson struggled to fight them off, while Nora Goldsmith only knew a few simple moves at that time.

Eventually, two guys somehow targeted Nora Goldsmith.

With all the robbers down, their leader kidnapped Nora Goldsmith, threatening Ivy River:

"If you want the people with you to get hurt, go ahead and attack. I don’t mind a life for a life."

They spoke in English, but all three understood, having passed their IELTS exams.

Ivy River was quite helpless, directly agreeing to the robber’s words.

Just as the group headed to the bank for the money,

Nora Goldsmith acted quickly, biting down hard on the robber’s hand and simultaneously kicking the gang leader in the groin.

In an instant, she broke free.

Ivy River and Noah Wilson were stunned by her actions, and this wasn’t the only time it happened.

This move became Nora Goldsmith’s lifesaving trick.

"Alright, alright, I get it. You’re the strongest, you’re the strongest, but still be cautious with Edwin Blake and Harry Ross..."

After Noah Wilson finished speaking, he watched Ivy River carefully.

Seeing she had no reaction, he continued, "He’s one of the country’s top eligible bachelors. In case he needs kids later, and you mess things up, sis will need to mend them."

Nora Goldsmith said earnestly, "True, you’re right, valid but not overly so."

"You don’t think the Blake Clan Group is run by those two brats, Fatty and Emmy, do you? Edwin Blake’s reproductive system is intact; matters like these aren’t for us to meddle in right now."

Noah Wilson knew Nora Goldsmith well and understood her situation when she frowned.

Nora Goldsmith said with some regret, "I should’ve let Edwin Blake hit me earlier, and then I’d have kicked him hard."

"Stop with those dangerous thoughts. Keep talking, and I’m worried your sister will hit you."

Nora Goldsmith waved her hand dismissively, "Nah, nah, I think sis loves me. She wouldn’t do such a thing."

"She wouldn’t?"

Noah Wilson glanced at Ivy River and noticed her odd expression, pulling Nora Goldsmith away.

Nora Goldsmith shouted, "Why, why are you doing this to me? What are you doing! I still need to brainwash my sister—"

Before she could finish, a Silver Needle landed on her mouth.

Nora Goldsmith looked at Ivy River in fear, covering her mouth to refrain from speaking.
